Product Description

Review
"This book provides undergraduates with an excellent overview of molecular virology. This is an absolutely necessary book for students who have not been exposed to this topic and require a book that provides this information in a clear and concise manner. Updated editions are extremely important in such a rapidly changing field. New discoveries have been included in this edition which enables students to feel that they are receiving the latest information."
- DOODY'S - 4 Stars (2006)

Trends in Biochemistry
"Compact...and realistically priced...Present[s] a good starting point for non-virologists to rapidly acquire a working knowledge of the area." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to viruses, 2 Aug 2001
By ricard@ants.upc.es (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Molecular Virology: Instructions Edition (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book. I was looking for a general introduction to viruses including different approaches and I think that Cann did a pretty good job. I don understand the criticisms: this book does not pretend to be a detailed account of each detail, but an introduction to the field. As a reader looking for this material, it worked perfectly well.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very poor virology textbook, 6 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Molecular Virology (1) (Paperback)
Although useful in some parts, particularly, genome replication, it lacks detail. Lack of colour illustrations is poor, and the diagrams are not clear. Dr Alan Cann should improve further editions.

3.0 out of 5 stars good textbook for a general virology class, esp. for price, 16 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Molecular Virology (1) (Paperback)
Alan Cann's textbook is laid out in an odd order, but his description of general mechanisms of viral gene regulation is wonderfully done. The only thing that could have made this book better is the illistrations. They are pretty bad, but that is what one gets for only $30. Good job Cann!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars ineffective text book
The author made a huge mistake with this one. It is so basic, meaning a lack of pictures and good graphics to lower its cost, that it ends up driving no point home at all. Read more
